It is a fiery color that attracts and magnetizes, but must be used with discernment to avoid disastrous results. The shade of red used or considered in your magickal act will be of extreme importance here. Stay with the lighter, brighter shades of red and leave the darker shades for the more experienced practitioners for now.

The over aggressive nature of the colour red/Mars is now toned and tapered with the healing wisdom rays of yellow/Mercury that nurtures the entire system. Sunday is the best day for the use of the color orange. It can be used on Tuesday or Wednesday with success, depending on your magickal goals. If used on Tuesday,the emphasis is on physical action.

Think of green as being and elusive leprechaun and you will better understand what I mean. Green stimulates growth, plant life or garden fairies. Green is an Earth color and is used on Friday.

How to Make your own Candles!!!

1. Cut a pepsi (or any other kind! :) can in half and fill it up with old wax from other candles.
2. Boil a pan of water.
3. Put the pepsi can in the pan so it melts the wax (it's like a homemade double boiler).
4. Cut another pepsi can in half: this is your mold.
5. Attach (glue, tape..somehow) a wick to the bottom of the second pepsi can.
6. Pour the melted wax in the second pepsi can (the one with the wick).
7. Freeze.
8. When it's hard, you can slide the candle out of the can. If it won't come out easily, you can always just cut away the can. Feel free to improvise on this.

"POSITIVITY SPELL"

YOU WILL NEED:
-one white candle (any size)
-matches

THE SPELL
Make sure that you will not be disturbed untill the candle has burned out by itself.

Perform this spell in a place where the only light is the candle.
Sit in the middle of the room, and place the candle in front of you. Light the candle with the match. Close your eyes and visualize all of your negative feelings escaping your body through your fingertips.

While visualizing, say this chant:

Purify my body,
Purify my heart.
Purify my spirit,
Negativity depart.

Repeat the chant untill you feel no more negativity. Open your eyes, and look at the candle. visualize the candle warming you with love, giving you the light of peace and serenity.

When the candle has burned out, use the remains to make an amulet of serenity. The next time you feel a negative emotion, place the amulet in your hands, and remember when the candlelight filled you with love and peace. let those same emotions come back to you from the amulet.
This spell was given by Chris Suttleham.
